Aria's POV

Hanna and I were just joking around in my car. We pulled up in the driveway and saw Emily waiting for us. She looked really sad and lost. I ran over to her. Hanna just stood there, not knowing what to do.

A- hey, are you ok? You seem really sad.

E- I think something is wrong with me!

H- (coming over) what?

A- yah what do you mean?

E- I can't think straight about-

H- about what?

E- it's nothing. Forget I said anything.

A- Em…

H- tell us. Please.

E- (bites her lip) I can't. Not without Spencer.

A- she kind of hates us now, Em.

E- I know, but still. I won't say anything until we are all together.

H- ok, sure.

A- wait why did we come to my house again?

H- to call Spencer, and find out if she saw Toby in the past.

A- right. Let's go to my room first.

E- lead the way.

In Aria's room…

H- I'll call her. (dials her number and waits)

E- well?

H- she isn't answering.

A- I'll try her. (dials her number and she doesn't answer)

H- any luck?

A- no. Why isn't she answering?

H- she is probably with Toby!

E- Hanna! We don't know that ok? Let me try to call her. (dials and same thing happens) nothing.

A- ok, now I am worried.

E- me too.

H- will you guys relax? She is probably studying or doing some kind of schoolwork.

A- maybe she really is with Toby…

E- I doubt it. He did push her.

A- I know but I can't help thinking she is with him.

H- yah, same.

Then suddenly all of our phones rang at the same time. We all looked at each other. Why would we all get texts at the exact same time? I reached for my phone and read the text. I gasped and looked at the girls. They were shocked too.

E- did you guys get a text from A?

H- yes.

A- (reads text)

Aww, you think Spencer is with Toby? Isn't young love AdorAble? but no. Toby is mAd At Spencer. If you wAnt to see your friend AgAin, come to the HAsting's lAke house. Then we will meet, liAr to liAr. I'll be wAiting!

Kisses-

Spencer's POV (before they got the texts from -A)

I was still lying next to the tree, crying when I thought I heard something. Probably just me being paranoid. I lie back down and close my eyes. There it was again! It was like this rustling kind of sound. Something or someone was getting close to me. I felt uneasy. It all happened so fast. One minute I am sitting down by the tree and the next someone grabs their arms around my neck. I start screaming as loud as I can. But then I stop, realizing I was just wasting my breath. I try to see who it is but they are wearing a hoodie and a mask I can't look at. A. I manage to release the hands from my neck by kicking A in the stomach. I step back a bit, catching my breath. I felt really woozy and struggled to stand up. I saw A coming back to me. I tried to runaway but I was too exhausted. I collapsed and fell to the ground. I reached for my phone which had fallen out of my pocket when I fell. But A stomped on my arm. I screamed. I heard a crack and that's when the pain started coming. I just wanted it to go away! I moaned and rolled on my side, clutching my arm in pain. A came over to me and kicked me in the gut. I couldn't breathe for a spilt second. And when it came back to me, A was dragging me away somewhere. Then my eyes closed.

Toby's POV (before Spencer got attacked)

I was walking back home when I heard someone screaming. I stopped and so did the screaming. I started walking again and the screaming continued. My phone buzzed. There was a video message from a number I didn't recognized. Shaking, I opened the video. The video was of someone in a hoodie strangling Spencer. I gasped and started running back as fast as I could to where I left Spencer. Those screams must have been from Spencer. But if the hoodie person was strangling Spencer, who took the video? The message had said,

Oh, Toby. I bet you Are wondering who I Am huh? Or who is strAngling your 'girlfriend?' You thought there was only A right? WAit who is A? Spencer didn't tell you? Oops. I guess the cAt is out of the bAg.
Kisses-
A

Why didn't Spencer tell me about this A person? She barely knows me. And I barely know her. But I love her. The L word! But it sounds like 'A' means business. I mean, strangling someone?! I got to the park and look for Spencer. I can't see her anywhere! Then I heard a cell phone ring. It was next to the tree we were lying under before I left. I picked it up. This had to be Spencer's phone. There was a text message so I opened it. It was a forward from Aria to Hanna, Emily, and obviously Spencer.

S.O.S.

A said go to her lake house. We are g2g find out what A wants. Spencer, if you get this, we are coming.

So the other girls get texts from A too? It sounds like A took Spencer to her lake house. Which doesn't make much sense because Spencer would know her way around. Then my phone rang. I took it out of my pocket and couldn't believe what I saw.
